Are you guys watching the same series as me?  The reason OKC is playing so well is Westbrook.  Golden State just has no answer for him.  And Westbrook isn't even shooting that well, he is just so big and athletic that GS has no answer for him.  Westbrook is basically performing at 27 points, 12 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 4 steals a game.  That is an all time epic stat line for a postseason series.

Yep I'm with you.
Durant is doing Durant, but Westbrook is that second piece that GSW can't stop. They're both top 5 players and stopping both is impossible.

OKC's big men are killing it on the boards too though.

Agreed.  Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are just a little bit more important to the outcome of this series than Steven Adams and Enes Kanter.

 Bumped.

 Granted Green getting suspended and Boats injury were huge. But I'm a little glad they lost. They were overrated.

LIving and dying with 3-point shots has never been a sound strategy in the NBA.  It worked out incredibly well for them, because they have a transcendent shooter in Steph Curry.   They were able to defeat an injury-riddled Cavs team last season, and won 73 regular season games.  But when you live and die by long-ball shots, it's got a chance to bite you in the butt.

Bogut and Green play the last 3 games and there's a high likelihood the Warriors win. Did we see some flaws? Sure. It's not like they cruised through the whole playoffs up to The Finals either.

That said, 73-9 and a very, very good chance that a suspension + injury cost them the title. If they repeat after setting the wins record, you almost have to keep them in the conversation.

Let's see what they do next year. If they come back and win it, that would make a big statement.

I wonder what you will be saying if the Warriors win next season. It's pretty evident to me that the elite teams haven't been able to seperate themselves and any of them can win. This includes Thunder, Spurs, Cavs, and Warriors. Again, this is a pretty dumb comment once again. These teams went 7 games, it's pretty clear either can win next year so the Warrior's strategy is clearly fine.

I guess Lbrrd knows more than the people at Vegas.....I mean the Warriors team is clearly flawed and should move away from the 3 point line  ::). Also, Lebron James is the GOAT. And I'm going to be the president of the United States in 20 years.

What a bunch of over reaction today.
Winning titles back to back is the hardest thing to do, no matter how good you are.
4 teams could win this season. 1 of them won. No nuclear science here.
